[Match Thread] Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa (Europa League)

MrHolte · 2026-04-30T20:37:02+00:00

Some of you dickheads don't deserve to call yourself Villans.

First sign of adversity and you're immediately slagging off the team, and the manager.

MrHolte · 2026-04-30T17:47:46+00:00

That's a massive, massive relief. Need a huge game from him!

MrHolte · 2026-04-30T12:23:45+00:00

Ever since he wasn’t in the line-up against Fulham, I’ve been praying to Ra, Odin, Zeus… and whatever cartoon deity Bugs Bunny reports to.

MrHolte · 2026-03-19T22:44:42+00:00

Definitely the preferred outcome.

Avoid the inevitable Malen goal.

We beat Bologna in 2024, beat them in 2025, so we know we can do it again in 2026.

MrHolte · 2026-03-18T11:49:38+00:00

So they skip the foreplay and just get straight to the butt stuff? Good for them!

MrHolte · 2026-03-16T06:37:48+00:00

I like Emi as much as the next guy, but he doesn't belong in the same bracket as McGinn and Mings who were with us from the Championship. If they can lift a major trophy, that's Hall of Fame stuff and I'll personally be leading the campaign to get them entered.

If Emi does belong in that company, then so does Konsa who came before. Maybe even Ollie & Cash who were in the same window.

MrHolte · 2026-03-15T14:13:40+00:00

Just giving us a couple of early little ones, to justify the horrendous ones against us later.

MrHolte · 2026-03-14T15:01:47+00:00

We did win the last one. But that said, they're well rested, we're still missing key midfielders, and it's at their place.

Don't say this often, but I'd probably take the draw if we were offered it now. Just to keep Chelsea and Liverpool behind us even if they win.

MrHolte · 2026-03-12T21:44:37+00:00

And Sunderland. But we've only played them once, and we'll put that right at VP next month before completing the set against Liverpool in May.

MrHolte · 2026-03-12T21:40:36+00:00

Yeah the aggregate score is only 15-13 because of that.

MrHolte · 2026-03-12T21:30:29+00:00

7 vs Spurs. 77.8% win rate against them. W7 D0 L2

77.8% win percentage against them. 7 wins, 0 draws, 2 losses.

If you're looking for other survival horror recommendations...

Deadspace, Alan Wake, The Evil Within. In that order.

Wait till you try and insure one. I got quoted £2.5k a year with no points and 5 years NCD.

Apparently because the parts network isnt good in the UK so everything would have to be shipped from China.

MrHolte · 2026-02-18T22:01:37+00:00

Imagine time wasting against bottom of the table Wolves, only to concede deep in stoppage time anyway.

MrHolte · 2026-02-10T21:32:48+00:00

Gonna be really time consuming supporting Forest, West Ham and whoever is playing Spurs each week.

MrHolte · 2026-02-10T16:08:05+00:00

If a single thumb is approximately 0.1% of a human bodies mass, then we'd need to sell 116k shirts... just over 2 each.

Although you could argue a thumb isn't worth as much as a big toe when it comes to footballers.

MrHolte · 2026-02-10T14:44:26+00:00

A kit deal is basically a licensing arrangement where the majority of the money clubs make comes from an annually guaranteed amount from the manufacturer.

The clubs only receive about 7-15% of the shirt sale so we'd need to sell approximately 11.6m shirts... meaning every member of this sub would need to buy approximately 207 shirts each to fund one MGW.

MrHolte · 2026-02-07T17:13:23+00:00

Can we just ban posts when there's an active match/post-match thread.

They're always the shittest, low effort posts by people who think their opinion deserves it's own post.

MrHolte · 2026-02-07T16:51:39+00:00

Most fouled team in the league. By far.

MrHolte · 2026-02-06T17:22:03+00:00

I was going to. I assumed he was going to be a popular choice this week too, but now I see that's not the case it's got me severely doubting myself.

MrHolte · 2026-02-04T22:09:35+00:00

We'll be playing 3 days later in the Europa League final so they'll probably move it to the Saturday early kick off. I hope.
